Greetings
from Sustainable Life Trust, a grass roots level registered NGO based at
Dharmapuri, Tamilnadu, India working since 1997 in the field of social
development sector, which deals with a broad
range of environmental issues. The Trust implements its mission through
campaigns and practical activities, public information and involvement with
community participation.

Sustainable
Life Trust is planning to organize a campaign -"Save Thenpennai
River" with the aim of creating awareness about the present environmental
situation of the river among the residents in the riverbanks of Thenpennaiand to motivate the people to save and protect
stream flows in Thenpennai to sustain healthy aquatic ecosystems from 27th
Jan 2014 to 15th Feb, 2014.
We (20 like-minded, environmental conscious people in NGOs, CBOs and environmental
activist youth groups) are going to travel around 400 Kms in 20 days and will
meet 50000 people approximately and also convey the message about the
protection of the River as well as importance of rain water harvesting, tree
planting, impacts of climate change, water and gender, and impart people’s rights
for safe and clean-protected water for drinking purpose through interactive
meeting, awareness meeting in schools and colleges and cultural programmes.

The
amount that we need around 10000 US$ in total which is for printing publicity
materials like posters, brochures, handouts, stickers and traveling, food,
documentation and media, prizes and certificates for schools and college
students etc.,

We
really feel that the campaign will be done only with the donations mobilized
through people who are concerned with our natural resources. Kindly support us in particular
donations. Any donations small or large will
help our endeavors.
